Chapter 11 The clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as good as the old
"In the summer of 2014, I met a classmate from the same class on the plane to the United States, who was a top student in my grade when I was in school."
"She was going to Stanford for an exchange, and I was very envious of it."
"I will always remember hearing Principal Gu say that the wisdom of the smartest minds in Lin'an Middle School belongs to all mankind."
"For a student like me, who is not intelligent enough, there is no opportunity to expand the boundaries of knowledge on behalf of humanity. If you want to change the world, the next best thing to do is start your own business......"
Lin Yi's lecture, or symposium, is a ready-to-hang, although it is not very exciting, but it finally did not fall to the ground.
He was embarrassed to forcibly package his past in front of the teachers and students of his alma mater, but he just followed the purpose of "persuasion" that Lao Zhao said, interspersed with a few small stories, and completed the task steadily.
The students of the Pro Middle School have seen the world.
Although the last class on Saturday morning, which was temporarily announced to have turned into an alumni lecture, they didn't make much of a fuss.
Now the information is very developed, but the main business of high school students is still studying, so Lin Yi, a newly rich man, is not well-known among them.
If it weren't for the face of the alumni, they might not have to listen to his vernacular.
There was a Q&A session at the end.
Lin Yi originally wrote a little bit for this, because these younger students didn't know what tricky questions they would ask, about life choices, shortcuts to success, and the meaning of learning......
It didn't work.
Because after the first girl who was clicked stood up, she took the microphone and asked the question: "Senior, is it true that the Internet says that you are Vivian's boyfriend?" ”
Well, that's what high school students are.
This gossip caused a small commotion in the audience, and many people realized that the so-called senior was the rumored boyfriend.
Lin Yi smiled secretly in his heart: It seems that many years after graduation, Gu Caiwei is still a popular figure in the school, and she is still the little transparent.
She's really influential among teenagers, not to mention that this is her alma mater.
This question was difficult for Lin Yi, and he replied calmly:
"Gu Caiwei and I are indeed classmates, many boys had such delusions at that time, and I was just a very ordinary one of them."
The teenage girl was no longer very good, and she asked reluctantly: "You didn't answer my question, have you been in love since you were in school?" ”
Lin Yi smiled and said: "When we were in school, early love was to be called parents, but I didn't dare to say it openly at the grade meeting like you are now." ”
"As for whether Gu Caiwei violated school discipline and school rules when she was studying, you can ask the teachers in the school about this."
Of course, this is a big fuss, Lin Yi turned his head to look at the grade director on the stage, Teacher Yang, who immediately understood and interrupted the female classmate who was still persevering and wanted to speak.
"Then I'll interject a sentence, everyone wants to ask some questions that are in line with our middle school students, and it is the spirit of the senior high school graduating class, to give the microphone to the next one."
The students in the school still didn't dare to openly rebel in the face of the grade director, so the next questions were as boring as Lin Yi expected.
After two or three questions, it was quickly over.
Teacher Yang was not familiar with Lin Yi, he expressed his gratitude to Lin Yi for his support today, and then left the space to Lao Zhao.
There is no need to be too scrupulous when only the two of them are there, Lao Zhao commented on the little girl just now:
"Do you think it's getting harder and harder for children to manage now? In front of so many people at the grade assembly, you dare to chase you and ask for gossip. ”
Lin Yi didn't think it was strange: "Were we easy to manage back then, and you didn't worry less, right?" ”
Lao Zhao felt very reasonable when he heard it: "You are still quite self-aware. ”
"Hahaha!"
Both of them laughed, and after a few words, Lao Zhao asked, "Are you and Gu Caiwei okay now?" ”
There is no need to hide it from Lao Zhao.
At the beginning of this school, apart from Zhang Jiaqi, who knew the relationship between the two of them best, perhaps the bright-eyed head teacher.
"It's good, thank you to the school and Teacher Zhao for protecting her all the time, even after graduation, she can still feel the care of the school, for which we are both grateful."
Lin Yi said that there is a basis for this, Gu Caiwei's debut, especially after she became famous, her past affairs have almost not leaked out at all, which is inseparable from the school's intentional care.
What's wrong with her that she's afraid people will know?
Lin Yi, of course.
If you want to say how cautious Lao Zhao is, it can be seen that he stepped on the brakes in time when he almost mentioned Gu Caiwei in front of several old classmates.
"If you want to say thank you for this matter, you have made a career after graduation, the school has gained a little reputation, and protecting the privacy of students is just the bare minimum."
"And Gu's mother is a caring person, she still has to come at least once a year, and the school leaders on my side will take care of it, and we will try our best to cooperate for her sake."
"The time you had a scandal before, the paparazzi took out the video of your high school aerobics competition, and we haven't found out where it came from, and we feel embarrassed."
Lin Yi and Gu Caiwei did not blame the school for this, because this kind of video is not a secret, and there are many classmates who can be contacted in the original grade.
Lin Yi's roommate Chen Yang also collected one.
Speaking of scandals, Zhao Mingcheng originally had a few words he wanted to tell, because Lin Yi's last scandal with Gu Caiwei was not just the two of them, but also the second half.
But before Lao Zhao spoke, he suddenly realized that although he was used to being a teacher and wanted to take care of everything, the person in front of him was no longer the high school student in his class.
It's a bit uncomfortable.
Lao Zhao decided to give up preaching after laughing at himself, and he seemed to suddenly remember what to propose:
"When you go back, remember to tell Gu Caiwei, it's inconvenient to send me a signature, my daughter has been wanting it for a long time."
"I'm embarrassed to go to her or ask Gu's mother for it, in that case, where will I put my face? In the end, my daughter wondered if I was bad to Gu Caiwei at the beginning, and now I don't even have an autograph. ”
Lin Yi imagined the scene where Lao Zhao held back in front of Ms. Gu Changge for a long time and couldn't say that he wanted an autograph, and secretly felt funny.
Although the relationship between the two has changed a lot during this meeting, his dedication to "being a teacher" is still the same.
Lin Yi naturally agreed.
"You and Gu Caiwei, I wasn't very optimistic about it at the beginning, not only because of the big gap between your family backgrounds, but also because I didn't see that you all have such a good ability."
"As a result, the two richest and most famous students in the more than 100 years since the establishment of Linzhong School were in my class, and they were both young and promising, and other teachers complimented me on teaching well."
"To be honest, I'm still a little dizzy and can't believe it, but I know it's a coincidence, and I'm still blind."
"It's not unusual, I'll just be happy for you."
"Looking back now, you were already very mature when you were in high school, and Gu Caiwei was also very determined, which I ignored when I treated you as children."
"I know that with your current status, you won't be going back to school casually, and you won't get along like you used to."
"Maybe when people get older, they tend to miss the old."
"I remember what you two said to me at the beginning, and I hope you will not forget it."
Lao Zhao was carrying a thermos cup, and while walking gracefully and leisurely, he was chattering in his mouth, as if he was unintentionally emotional.
But to Lin Yi's ears, he was like a former teacher commander, with meaningful guidance.
